My problems with WM ?

The problem is it is too wild. Example: many applications put their files in windows folder. HTC Touchflo puts 1600+ files there.

That slows EVERYTHING down. Nobody cares. User can do nothing with it (outside not installing such apps).

What more, user has little chance to really know what is happening.

WH has multitasking, but if one task hangs up, you must restart the phone

anyway. Those background tasks (or something) also tend to eat the battery overnight.

Phone and messaging is messy. Definitely step down from dumb-phones. Traversing small menus for everything.

WM is slow. Everything takes ages to launch.

I had dump-phone SE D750 and Palm T5 before. Only thing in which Xperia is better is web, and fact that it is all in one package. But taking the Palm now is just shock .. it's so fast, even though it 3 years old now. And I haven't find replacement for all applications I used there yet.

I loved Amiga and hated Windows before .. I learned to use Windows, because there was no other way, and I can't say I really do hate it now. WM is just the same. While it can be used, for sure, I can't see how it can be loved. Everything is simply ill-implemented. Not even once did I say 'wow, that is smart !' with WM, while WTFs are still often.

Btw. my profile is mostly entertainment, media, power user. I used Palm for video (where Xperia sucks, but that is not WM problem), ebooks (Xperia can be used quite fine), lots of note taking (usable, but slighlt worse interface with WM). For 'poweruser' I mean installing every gadget you find and setting everything you can. WM allows that, but in a way it both forces you to do so (to get some basic functionality) and also forces you not to do so (because you will mess your system really soon and will need hard reset).

Anyway, 6.5 or 7 seems to go in the right direction. And pressure from other systems can help too (it already does in fact). So one day maybe even WM will get better. And yes, those other systems need maturing too.
[XPERIA X1 General] Lake292:
u dont know about computers much do u? its easier to open 10 files which are 10kb then open one file which has 20mb and parse it when u need just one line for example... maybe there is lots of files but it doesnt slow things down!

why would u need to restart phone? install some advanced task manager and kill that process... just as easy as that

ermm what are u talking about?

tweak it!
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
hopefully in 4 days we will see the x2 and some specs.

im not getting my hopes up as when u expect too much u end up disappointed
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
Your post (and many others for that matter) proves that WM is a crappy OS that needs too much commitment and tuning from the user-side. A good OS wouldn't need any tweaking!
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
do u install software and change settings on your pc/mac?? does that make your pc/mac OS crappy???

if u want a simple phone, look in the standard phone and not a smartphone
[XPERIA X1 General] PC Master:
G-Sensor :D
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
No, actually I don't. I haven't tweaked a thing to OSX's system besides making the taskbar opaque. It just works. I'm not saying it's perfect, cause there's always a level of customisation for your own workflow but I've only customised that to my liking through OSX's own tools.

Before the switch to a Mac, I used to tweak a lot of settings on my XP laptop. It did make things much better (though still not as good as even a untinkered OSX), but my point is that a good OS shouldn't need any unofficial patching/fixing by the user, whether it's of the open or closed nature.

Really, how can you not agree with that?
[XPERIA X1 General] dwd:
"But its said that a big effort is put into x2 by MS to compensate the "screwup" that HTC did with x1"

did you make a typo and mean SE instead of MS(microsoft), because if MS is involved in X2(hardware as software)..... it will make the x2 quite interesting, if it fails, than all winmo fails.

(not that i think x1 is a failure =) )
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
the problem here is that pc windows os is make for millions of pcs, whilst osx is make only for macs for they run well (if u like osx, which i dont). same with there mobile os, if microsoft made a couple of handsets they would run perfect (as the xbox360 os runs). maybe u should consider a iphone
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
I believe the hardware is made for the software, also in Windows's case. I have considered an iPhone, but the lack of keyboard and the price was something that held me back at that moment. Plus, I've had only good experiences with SE. Don't get me wrong, I love my phone but I'm just being reaistic and know what it's current flaws are.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
hopefully tomorrow they will show the x2.

does anyone know the time and location of the press conference
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Um..... I read all of your comments and I have one advice for you.... Get a feature phone and be happy. Smartphones/Pocket PCs are not for you.....
[XPERIA X1 General] thorstenn:
7pm swedish time
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
Yup... looks like I found out the hard way.

But hey, I'm still going to use this phone for the next 2 years so maybe my standpoint will change on this.

And I have to stress, I really am happy with this phone. It helps me organise my lifestyle and it's just one of the sexiest phones I've ever laid my hands on, it's just that there's some holes missing software-wise that are unlogical to me.
[XPERIA X1 General] Dr.Sid:
You see ? To get good phone from xperia, I need to install many things. Almost whole OS. And that is my point.
[XPERIA X1 General] THJahar:
Ahhh, you walked into a minefield here.

You see this site we're on is called XDA-Developers. It's entire purpose is to tweak and change WinMo.

Indeed it was setup as a response to the fact that winmo out of the box is not very good.

So the upshot of this is that everyone here is dedicated to CHANGING their phone. It's not in anyway a support forum. (Not in a true sense anyway, it's support function is a by product)

As an Xperia user I initially hated the phone, I was horrified at it's user unfriendlyness, now my mindset was not that the phone was at fault, as the technology used in it was cutting edge, but that the software was diabolical. So I plunged online in an effort to find solutions which lead me here and to mobile phone nirvana.

I'm a fixer and I hate to be handheld through life, and as such I enjoy working from a basic outline and achieving something greater. But there are many people out their that are not 'fixers' they like perfection handed to them and prefer a stress free life, hence the poularity of the iPhone (as well as it's fashion cache)

Problem with that approach is that they often plunge head first into things as research requires effort, which is more in line of the 'fixer' personality. and occasionaly they come a cropper.

So your choice is 'embrace and effort' or 'dismiss and aquiesce' but you're going to have to pick one as being caught between the two mindsets will be frustrating
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
Well written.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
So, no X2 announced the other day. Any hints of a new date?
[XPERIA X1 General] audino:

I got a MMS from one of my buddies, and everything seemed normal. But as soon as I went back to my SMS/MMS inbox, the sender was not recognized as he originally was in my contacts list. Instead it just had a "+" and his mobile number as the sender. What can I do about this?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] moorefate0000:
i am trying to flash thyrough my memory card....i have a 1gb sandisk sd card.....i hear something about partition but have no idea what to do please help
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
PC Partitioning.

The first to do is understand what it is. Then we can actually do it. Other than that, this is NOT a development post. It needs to be moved to the proper sub forum.

Your SD card needs to be FAT32. (Right click on the card while using a card reason and choose partition (if you're in windows.)
[Off-topic] PwnCakes193:
So, long story short, ATT screwed me over with my Fuze. I got a call from a VERY high up person from ATT, and they offered me any phone I want.

I had some problems with the Fuze: Lag, bad battery, touch screen issues, build quality issues... etc. I also hated how I always had to keep on looking for new radios, testing them, testing new ROMs. Don't get me wrong, I love to customize my phone, but it was a little over the top and a little ridiculous.

I was thinking about getting the Bold. I love the screen, I love the keyboard, never used the trackball before, and never used the BB OS. How's battery life and performance on it? I'll be using it mostly for texting, calling, and some word documents.

The iPhone is out of the question.

Thanks for the help!
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
Maybe get a fuze that works properly? :D I really have no suggestions other than that.
[Off-topic] kareeem:
The best phone to get would obviously be the Fuze. However, if you want some money, then i suggest you get an iPhone (16gb), sell it on eBay and then you'll have a lot cash to buy a new phone (and even have some left over).
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Good to know iphoney is out of the question!

If looking for something not too expensive I would recommend Universal because it´s great keyboard and screen!

If $ is not a problem check Touch Pro 2 or Diamond 2

Good luck,
[Off-topic] Kraize:
Goes to show that WinMo is not for the weak, the noob, and the ones who don't have time. Get a Blackjack or something. that would suit you.

Btw, I think by any phone, the guy would've probably meant that any phone from at&t and I still find your story highly unlikely cause normal people do not get calls from anyone "VERY" high so to say even if you've been a customer of AT&T since it began. I highly doubt it. But sure, I suggest only 3 phones for you. BB Bold, BB Curve, Samsung BlackJack.
[Off-topic] galaxys:
If you like HTC & WM, then go for Touch Pro 2 or Diamond 2.
[Off-topic] chrisrc1985:
AT&T is not selling those phones yet.

and yeah, that story is unlikely, not saying you made it up, but the person was probably a tech support supervisor, or manager.

get the iphone. if the X1 is sold through AT&T(which i dont think it is) then get that, other then that, if you dont like to customize your phone, dont get a HTC, get a LG incite or something of that nature.
[Off-topic] PwnCakes193:
the person who called me was the Vice-President of Customer Support, I found her email adress on AT&T's website and sent her an email. Got a call 3 days later :) I can post the link if you guys don't believe me

I do like tinkering with my phone, but only to an extent. I need a long battery for everyday trips, and I need a phone with great signal strength.

I have been with AT&T for 8 years, landline and cellular service. And my Dad's side of the line holds the entire companies phone systems, and theres around 1500 phones. AT&T would not want to lose business
[Off-topic] PwnCakes193:
Alright, so a little update, and this was great.....

I get....

A brand new Blackberry Bold

I get to keep my Fuze

And I get 200 dollars in credit

Sell the blackberry,

get a new Fuze thats not defective

Send me the credit for my bills! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rnikec:
ok so i went to a party and blacked out

turns out my phone was lost but this girl found it called my friend it i got it the next morning. HOWEVER... the touchscreen wont work..

1. i searched and found similar threads that said i should hard reset and reflash so i do both.

2. both dont work so now im stuck with a phone that has the windows tap to start windows screen.

is my lcd broken because it seems like it. I took the screen protector off and everything. I dont have insurance with ATT because i bought the phone off ebay and if it comes to fixing it im just gonna google how to replace the lcd.

Should i go and replace it or is there a reasonable explanation for this bull****?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rnikec:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
I have had my D2 for just over a week now and have not had a problem. I have had Full bars. My aunts house and my Families restaurant I get the usual 0-3bars. Happens with every phone and every carrier at those locations.

Today my receprtion....not just mine.... My sisters, brothers, and cousins, all on T-mobile with different phones had retarded reception. 0-3 bars at certain times of the day. So it wasn't the D2. The other phones were BlackBerry Pearl (yuck), Samsung Behold, and Nokia 3510 Express. All from T-mobile.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] akirius:
Can you guys share the radioRom version you are using?

I am having horrible reception on this phone =(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] akirius:
after doing some testing tonight, I found out that 3.46.25.18 is the best rom for tmobile USA, although is not that big of an improvement

Hope it helps

I really think there should be a post dedicated for matching the best ROM with different regional carriers

yes you lose all your settings,coppy all your files from internal memory to storage like your photo's and music documents e.d.

rename the ...nbh if it isn't to DIAMIMG copy the DIAMIMG.nbh to your Storage.2 press and keep pressed the power button and the red button,

3) lose the red button first and than the power button,

4) you get a white screen now,

5) press the power button to start flashing.

6) when it's done press the red button to softreset .....thats all :)

- New font looks fancy indeed, but the original one looks more professional.
